Server was doa yesterday. I'd give it a week.

Ncsoft probably won't shut it down. Years ago one of those emu teams asked permission, and eventually got it.

Will it be the COH where they censored all the Nazi faction stuff after they released the game in Europe?

It's a late build. So yeah, I think so.

Remember that cryptic was starting to sell individual powersets? They've got a few of those, I think.

2500 players online on the test server. Retail servers maxed out at 1500 each back in the day apparently. I could see this having Nost numbers when the actual server launches, although I’d expect a lot of people to play it briefly and move on to something else.

My best case fantasy is that ncsoft sees it and realized they could run an official emu for five to ten bucks a month and make free money.

Not a lot of money, but free money.

They probably wouldn't because they'd need to pay staff and for resources running it. I bet there's a break even number that's several multiples of 2500 players.

That's only 2500 online concurrently. The actual number is (normally) about 10-20 times that.

For example, I know of a game that has ~200 CCUs that has 80,000 MAUs (monthly active users) - I'd imagine the figure for CoH to be in the hundreds of thousands based on data reported alone.

That could be true. I always thought CoH/CoV was one of those games that was shut off before it was time.
